Assuming that you don't mean that the fluid is actually boiling hot, you must either have air bubbles in the system, or contaminants of some sort. Air in the system is not good and needs to be bled out. Contaminants are not good either and need to be flushed out. You need to determine what the source of the air or contamination is, repair it if necessary, and then either flush or bleed the system, as appropriate. It's about $125 for a power steering system flush at a shop, which incidentally, for a 2001, is probably about due anyways, and would also result in the system being bled. Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Talk to your favourite mechanic about it.
